Why Jeff Bezos banned PowerPoint presentations at Amazon:

@WholeMarsBlog Because Jeff Bezos doesn‘t like Bill Gates.😂😂😂

My ex girlfriend works at Amazon and sorry to break the bubble but they definitely use PowerPoint

The guy is a clear and practical thinker. He’s been successful for a reason. $amzn

Yes, but the point here is not a confrontation with Microsoft, but to clarify ideas by writting.

Great idea 👍👏👏👏

The best setting would be a student teacher like setting. Where everyone attending is trying to learn about a problem. The most knowledgable guy explains regradless of the hierarchy. The fruitfulness of the meeting would be the no of great ques asked. Not answers necessarily.

@shafjag Love this, though it’s funny to hear him call it a “memo”, I guess that’s what they were in years past before being called “docs”.

@BuisGamesESP EY banned this post

The fallacy many people hold is viewing those things as the only truth; it’s not about PowerPoint vs. Word, it’s about promoting the best and most well-thought-through ideas. The current Amazon still uses Word, but it has become more about politics than content. In the end, it’s the founder and the culture he built that determine whether the best ideas get promoted.

This presumes masses of corporate employees can write clearly in the first place. In reality it just forces people to read dogshit writing during a meeting
